Hi list,

since some time i get an error message if i close lazarus:

content of the message dialog:

In 'file:///home/john1/.lazarus' (line 1 pos 1): Root element is missing In 'file:///home/john1/.lazarus' (line 1 pos 1): Root element is missing

But there is no .lazarus file, but the folder .lazarus?!!

The caption of the MessageBox is in german "Lesefehler" (reading error).

So i think lazarus tries to read a file, that doesn't exist?!

my lazarus:
Lazarus 1.3 r46345 FPC 2.6.2 x86_64-linux-gtk 2

Should i write a bug report?

Maybe you installed a package, that reads a config file ''. Start the IDE in gdb or the debugger and find the stacktrace of the error message. That should give you a hint what package it is.

notice:

just startet lazarus from Terminal and saw this line:

"[TJITComponentList.DestroyJITComponent] ERROR destroying component Error: In 'file:///home/john1/.lazarus' (line 1 pos 1): Root element is missing
"

that should give a important hint ( ... but not for me )

The *file://* part looks suspicious. Otherwise it is the default Lazarus config directory in your Unix/Linux home directory.

my lazarus: Lazarus 1.3 r46345 FPC 2.6.2 x86_64-linux-gtk 2 Should i write a bug report?

I don't have any problems with the latest trunk, including r46345. So, it is not a bug in Lazarus but some kind of local configuration problem. Try to clean your system. Remove the local config (after making a backup maybe), make sure there are no other Lazarus versions in search path, "make clean" etc.

This is probably PrimaryConfigPath+''. Some code uses an empty filename. And worse: it does not catch the exception with a message. So this code has at least two bugs.
Now we have to find out what code this is.

Hi Mattias:

DestroyJITComponent has only caught the exception. It did not raise it. Please use gdb to find out what raised it.

Hi Mattias,

the problem is strange, but solved:

Had a project with XMLPropStorage1.Active := true ( at design-Time!!! )
but without the fileName for the "config.xml"

Changed it to false and now everything is ok.

But why tries XMLPropStorage1 to write its xml file when i close lazarus, there is just nothing to save at design-time!

Should i write a bug-report for this?

Thanks for your help!

I didn't try the gdb, thats far beyond my knowledge :-((

Fixed.
